I was going to be planting a Topsy Turvy tomato the next day, and was worried about keeping the plant stable while filling with soil. The foam core by itself isn't really stable enough to reliably keep the stem from folding.

But, a solid base, there is something that will make a difference. Well, I have a printer, and can do a simple base that will give support, and give lots of room to grow.

Designed in Tinkercad in about 30 minutes, and printed in a couple of hours. Works perfectly!
